which implies that the road itself is linear and does not
have any 2nd row buildings with 20a,20b,20c numbers ...
all of which applies to the road i used to be living
at a few years ago:

(and don't get me started on Berlin with its duplicate
street names, they are only unique per town district there,
or the small towns or old town centers where houses are numbered
by size or order of construction or by the order in which they
signed fire insurance contracts ...)

Not saying that such a plugin doesn't make sense for certain
areas in the world, but i haven't seen this "by linear distance"
scheme in any place but the USA yet, so its probably low priority
for the rest of the world, and definitely for all parts of Europe
i've been to ...
